On 30 October 2021, in a 2–1 away defeat to Konyaspor, Bayındır was injured in a collision with Serdar Gürler in the 69th-minute and left the field, being replaced by Berke Özer.[9] The following day, Fenerbahçe made an announcement, saying: “Although no fracture was detected in Altay Bayındır’s shoulder, acromioclavicular separation was observed. It has been decided that our player will undergo surgery and his treatment has started.”[10] It was estimated that he would be unavailable for approximately three months.[11]
